This is the first time I heard of nasal swab, sounds interesting
it's more uncomfortable to get a nasal swab than a throat nasal .Luckily,I haven't experienced the nasal swab. However,my friends have to get a rapid test by themselves in their school. I joked that their roommates should help each other to complete the task.
